The futuristic setting in the 30th century didn’t happen in harmony.
These days, we are facing many types of diseases, evolved viruses threatening the whole medical system of the world. Many experiments were conducted to find an antidote for every disease, but they all failed, due to the harsh environment of the exotic outer space, and numerous revolutions from many alternate universes…
The politics didn’t go on well either, as the governments from everywhere suffered from terrorism, riots, and… needless to say, consecutive civil wars. Only Vietnam and Russia were able to keep their citizens in peace, but this was not enough for a planet like Earth.
Only two countries had the guts to set out many political and civil laws, but neither of them was accepted by the European Union.
The wars… were all started because of the health demands.
Like I said before, the fate of mankind is facing lots of menace in medical senses, and many fatal cases caused by evolved viruses were recorded. Not only modifying the human body into otherworldly creatures, but these viruses also messed up genes of the plants and animals, some even turned their host into an unfathomable genetic abomination. Poverty, world hunger are wreaking havoc these days…
Since then, every gifted scientist from all over the world has gathered in one place to find a solution for this pandemic.
With hi-tech devices and advanced tools, they were able to find the genetic codes of the original virus prototype, which somehow helped them at the initial steps to make a proper type of antidote.
However, they could not find a way to eliminate this virus, as this shit was reluctantly resistant to everything which would kill a normal virus: high temperature, natural resistance, and even antibiotics couldn’t even do shit to this bullcrap. There was only one effective way to kill it, which was exposing them to an extremely cold environment in space, but no astronauts could risk their life going into space and operating the defrost system. The hospitals also reached their maximum capacity for putting too many people in quarantine, and they couldn’t keep more infected astronauts.
Even though they didn’t succeed in finding a vaccine, they decided to produce a type of drug that allowed citizens to build up resistance to the virus…temporarily. It was not as effective as the real medicine, but soon the political issues were solved by those magical pills. The virus crisis was also be solved.
Most scientists gave up on finding a vaccine for this virus.
Except… one of their colleagues.
Welp, I didn’t know who he was but by taking a glance at his laboratories, all I could say was that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. In other words, he was really rich. Well, he had wasted his money on unfruitful research, and he felt frustrated about the negative attitudes of every one of his colleagues in finding an antidote.
To make up something about him, he was my friend.
Wait, did I say I didn’t know him? Yes, I didn’t know his name, nor did he want to share it with me. I called him “The Introvert”, and it pretty much summed his personality: he is introverted. We usually paired up as lab partners back when I was in university, and we seemed to get along with each other very well. The only thing I felt uncomfortable with him was the fact that he didn’t want to share his name…
Speaking of names, my name is Hazel Chiller, one of the… nearly unemployed citizens here. I currently have to travel to Ha Noi, one of the five cities which suffered the least from the zombie apocalypse.
Wait, did I mention the zombie apocalypse? Well, sadly as it is, but it was my friend who caused it.
When the vaccine campaign failed, my friend decided to launch his travel rocket to the void, with the hope to find other habitable planets. However, during his space voyage, he found a really strange substance floating in space. This must be one of the unknown ingredients in the antidote, so he experimented… and it turned out his antidote worked.
When he introduced the vaccine, all the world seemed to explode in enthusiasm. Some even said that this innovation was the furthest leap in the field of medicine, and the vaccine was then spread widely.
The whole twist was here when some bad guys took away the vaccine before it was even spread, and they messed with the vaccine using some type of chemicals. My friend was the first one to get vaccinated from that poisonous one.
The harmful antidote was once again published, and they even get it vaccinated for the children and everyone for FREE. I mean, free healthcare is not a bad thing, especially during the pandemic, but isn’t it way too suspicious?
Anyway, as a result, this epidemic bursts.
I don’t know what their motives are, and what is the purpose of the zombie apocalypse, but because I’m in quarantine in a green city like Ha Noi, where you can have some fresh air to breathe, it is terrible. Walking is good for your cardiovascular system, but not walking with the man-eating undead. That will be the opposite remedy.
Well, let’s talk about a day of mine.
Sometimes when the supplies ran out, I would usually go out of the safe zone for a raid, and by “raid” I mean going around the ruins and searching for essential stuff. I have to do this almost every day to survive this post-apocalyptic world.
Sometimes I get firearms and ammunition, sometimes it’s food, but finding even a can of tomato soup is considered a blessing from the lord, so I usually have to eat dog meat and other disgusting things. The worst thing about this is, I have to frequently put my life on the line for nothing at all, really, nothing.
Anyway, I searched around the remains of buildings for a while, look at what I have found! A bar of shampoo, and it’s still usable. Normally people wouldn’t be super happy when they find shampoo bars, but those are quite important in a world full of zombies. Cleaning myself to get rid of germs and stay sanitized is important. I don’t want them anywhere near my injuries. If they managed to crawl into even the slightest wound on my body, I’m pretty much doomed. Also, I got some AK-47 magazines, which will come in handy later for heavy zombie assaults...
Creak…
- Blaarraghhhhhhhhhhhh…
- RAAAUUUUGHHHH!
Ah, crap, those noises, the zombies are coming. *insert not quoting Plants vs Zombies* These things are super sensitive to sounds. Luckily, I have prepared for situations like this. Killing zombies is quite easy, just grab something long and hard, in my case, it’s a Vietnamese flag right next to me. and stab or smash them in the head.
“GO F*CKING DIE, BOOMERS!”
CRUSH!
Hell yeah, a direct strike into the medulla! That nonsense won’t be messing with me anymore, but I have to get out of here as fast as possible, or else I’m gonna get eaten alive…
… With a hope to finding more survivors during my journey.
